That could have been the working title of Don Borchers’ latest filmic adventure for Syfy. Don’s been producing, writing and directing movies since the early 1980s. And in September of 2009 he revisited his past by once again aligning himself with Stephen King’s classic tale of murderous kids in a midwestern cornfield. Syfy’s CHILDREN OF THE CORN is Don’s faithful adaptation (produced, written and directed by Don) of King’s short story. Grim and gruesome, the film is not to be missed. Don’s tenacious, driven and determined to follow through on whatever he sets his sights on. Listen in and learn something. We did.

When he was a kid hanging out on the Universal backlot, or later in the midst of 35 missions as a bombardier flying over Germany during WWII, Del had no idea he’d wind up smack in the middle of one of the most creatively fervent periods in the history of American Broadcasting. When TV drama was in its infancy and young men like John Frankenheimer, Franklin Schaffner and Paddy Chayefsky were telling the country all about itself with live television productions, Del was there. He was also there with Rod Serling when a little CBS show called The Twilight Zone hit the airwaves and changed television forever. Listen in.

Neil Johnson is the writer, producer, director behind a slew of homegrown science fiction films and countless rock videos. Determined to make films his own way he found himself in unlikely company when his tradition-breaking foray into digital moviemaking attracted the attention of George Lucas. George, just about to break ground on THE PHANTOM MENACE, had a few questions about how (digital) movies get made. You can check out Neil’s site here.

Boomers will be familiar with the late Ross Martin as the actor who, in the mid-1960s, played Artemus Gordon on tv’s THE WILD WILD WEST. But before that Ross acted in THE TWILIGHT ZONE. In 1978 Marc Zicree was 22 years old and just beginning the research that would lead him to write the book on Serling’s masterpiece, The Twilight Zone Companion. Marc conducted this interview (©2008 Marc Scott Zicree) with Ross Martin 30 years ago. It takes you backstage into the 1960s world of the working actor, and into the mind of Rod Serling who did more to define the world of television science fiction than anyone else before or since.

Laurence Walsh and Jack Bernstein were writer/producers on the Sci Fi Channel’s short-lived cult favorite THE DRESDEN FILES. But who cares about that? Jack is the comedy stud behind ACE VENTURA: PET DETECTIVE and for a while there Laurence made sure John Woo didn’t leave the house without his wallet, car keys and genius. Jack continues promulgating his offbeat sense of humor with MONK and, in this podcast, Laurence suffers through it.
